New chain of stores may be coming...

Once again Bob Kirkpatrick seems to
have hit the nail on the head, taking full-bore aim at Bill Gates'
announcement that Microsoft is considering opening a chain of
Microsoft Stores. Ah, yes, the first stores in the history of
merchanising whose products require a reboot every week, all without
benefit of free technical support.

Ostensibly they will have tons of
Microsoft-branded products, other than software, for sale.

Imagine the possibilities! You could be
the first male person in Spokane to have a new pair of tighty-whities
(boxers are optional) with the ubiquitous Microsoft Logo on its
backside, or for the fairer members of the species, a lovely peignoir
suitable for lounging at bedtime with a mug shot of Bill Gates
prominently-displayed across your attributes.

Are these Microsoft-branded products
not insipid enough for your taste?

Perhaps you can think of other ways in
which to market Microsoft and make lots of money. Just remember the
black and white cows only worked for Gateway for awhile.
